When the book STRUCTURE SYSTEM wasfirst published in 1967, it encountered a dividedecho in the profession:

- commendation for the unconventional approachto return the domain of structural design backinto the hands of the architect.

- critique on the unconventional claim to be ableto convey the theory of structures not throughmathematical analysis, but throuh the simple language of pictures.

From the faction of "pure" structural engineeringfear was even voiced that book may lead the designing architect astray!

In the ligh of such contradictory reaction it willbe of interest to learn what result has the book toexhibit after altogether 30 years of uninerrruptedsequence:

- The book has been reprinted altogether 6 times without any change, last time in 1990 (and again in Japan 1994).

- The book has been translated into several Ianguages and has been printed in ther countries:USA, Spain, Taiwan,Brazil, England, Japan,Portugal, Persian.

- (And just to be complete:) The book was elected into the circle of the 10 best designed books at the International Book Fair 1967 in Frankfurt.The struture system Contains:
